Netflix has set an August 7, 2026, release date for “The Last House,” the upcoming sci-fi thriller from Louis Leterrier. The film was previously known as “11817,” a title that kept the project intentionally cryptic. At the same time, the premise did plenty of the heavy lifting: a family of four is suddenly sealed inside their home, with no exit, dwindling resources, and a mysterious outside threat keeping them trapped.

It is a simple little genre hook and a contained one for Leterrier, who has often worked at a much bigger scale, from “Now You See Me” to “Fast X,” as well as Netflix’s “Lupin.” Here, the director appears to be working in survival-thriller mode, building tension around a single domestic space that turns from shelter into a pressure cooker.
The cast is led by Greta Lee, who broke through in a major way with “Past Lives” and has also appeared in “Russian Doll” and “A House of Dynamite,” and Academy Award nominee Wagner Moura, best known to many viewers for “Narcos” and “Narcos: Mexico,” and recently seen nabbing a Best Actor Oscar nom “The Secret Agent”; a rarity for an international picture. Riley Chung (“The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”), Emma Ho (“The Baker”), Alexander Noah Sosnowski (“Section 8”), and Gabriel Barbosa (“May December”) co-star.
The script comes from Matthew Robinson, whose credits include “Love and Monsters,” “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” and “The Invention of Lying.” Leterrier produced the film alongside Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Kori Adelson for Chernin Entertainment, as well as Oly Obst for 3 Arts Entertainment. Thomas Benski, Cecile Gaget, Lars Sylvest, Thorsten Schumacher, and Damian Anderson serve as executive producers.
